Top Minato Ward Hotel Reviews

Meitetsu Inn Nagoyaeki Shinkansenguchi

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was located super close by to Nagoya Station so it was convenient to get to and around when exploring. The amenities were great and the staff was friendly. The room was small, in usual Japan style, but very comfortable. It fit two adults with no issue!"

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nagoya Station (Renewal Open in May 2026)

10/10 Excellent

"Check in process with smooth with the front desk helping out. They will clean your room or bring fresh towels when asked by using the magnet posted on the door. They have 3 laundry machines and each machine washes and dries at the same time in that one cycle — and it dries your clothes very well. You also don’t need detergent, the laundry machine has a built in detergent that will fill. The front desk is very helpful when you need help — they helped me hold my bags on the last day because their self storage area was not working for me. It’s just 10 min away from Nagoya station and just right downstairs is a Lawson!"
